Drypoint etching. Impression size 19x13.2 cm (7½x5¼") on a larger sheet, approximately 33x25 cm (13x9¾") with blank conjugate leaf.
Unsigned. Walter Gramatté (German, 1897-1929). After serving in the German army during World War I Gramatté concentrated on his art in Berlin where he formed friendships with several of the leaders of German Expressionism. He experimented with etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, and drypoints, the graphic technique widely used in German Expressionism. His subject matter was wide-ranging, but he had a special affinity for portraiture.
